struct nand_buffers is malloc'ed in nand_scan_tail() just for
containing three pointers. Squash this struct into nand_chip.
Move and rename as follows:
chip->buffers->ecccalc -> chip->ecc.calc_buf
chip->buffers->ecccode -> chip->ecc.code_buf
chip->buffers->databuf -> chip->data_buf

We are planning to share more code between different NAND based
devices (SPI NAND, OneNAND and raw NANDs), but before doing that
we need to move the existing include/linux/mtd/nand.h file into
include/linux/mtd/rawnand.h so we can later create a nand.h header
containing all common structure and function prototypes.

If erasing or writing the BBT fails, we should mark the current BBT
block as bad and use the BBT descriptor to scan for the next available
unused block in the BBT. We should only return a failure if there isn't
any space left.

Since commit 17799359e7b3fa6ef4f2bf926cd6821cf7903ecf ("mtd: nand_bbt:
make nand_scan_bbt() static"), the nand_scan_bbt() function is marked
as static but is still exported using EXPORT_SYMBOL(), which doesn't
make much sense.
This commit gets rid of the useless EXPORT_SYMBOL.

When using nandsim to simulate a 128K block nand with `overridesize = 1',
the size of mtd device is too small (mtd_size = 4 * block_size) to get the
right length of bbt. Then when creating bbt, kzmalloc() will return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR. This causes a NULL pointer oops when scanning bbt.

This statement was written with a cast-to-loff_t to be sure to have a
full 64-bit mask. However, we don't account for the fact that
'1 << this->bbt_erase_shift' might already overflow.
This will not be a problem in practice, since eraseblocks should never
be anywhere near 4GiB. But we can do this for completeness, and quiet
Coverity in the meantime. CID #1226806.

In addition to mtd_block_isbad(), which checks if a block is bad or
reserved, it's needed to check if a block is reserved only (but not
bad). This commit adds an MTD interface for it, in a similar fashion to
mtd_block_isbad().
While here, fix mtd_block_isbad() so the out-of-bounds checking is done
before the callback check.

NAND_BBT_SCANEMPTY is a strange, badly-supported option with omap as its
single remaining user.
NAND_BBT_SCANEMPTY was likely used by accident in omap2[1]. And anyway,
omap2 doesn't scan the chip for bad blocks (courtesy of
NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN), and so its use of this option is irrelevant.
This patch drops the NAND_BBT_SCANEMPTY option.

nand_base.c shouldn't have to know the implementation details of
nand_bbt's in-memory BBT. Specifically, nand_base shouldn't perform the
bit masking and shifting to isolate a BBT entry.
Instead, just move some of the BBT code into a new nand_markbad_bbt()
interface. This interface allows external users (i.e., nand_base) to
mark a single block as bad in the BBT. Then nand_bbt will take care of
modifying the in-memory BBT and updating the flash-based BBT (if
applicable).

The chip->block_markbad pointer should really only be responsible for
writing a bad block marker for new bad blocks. It should not take care
of BBT-related functionality, nor should it handle bookkeeping of bad
block stats.
This patch refactors the 3 users of the block_markbad interface (plus
the default nand_base implementation) so that the common code is kept in
nand_block_markbad_lowlevel(). It removes some inconsistencies between
the various implementations and should allow for more centralized
improvements in the future.
Because gpmi-nand no longer needs the nand_update_bbt() function, let's
stop exporting it as well.

The parent commit 771c568bcf915e708ae819ef9d07d862f7e2da86 ("mtd: nand: add
accessors, macros for in-memory BBT") makes the following comment obsolete:
/*
* Note that numblocks is 2 * (real numblocks) here, see i+=2
* below as it makes shifting and masking less painful
*/
I don't think it ever could have been "less painful" to have to shift an
extra bit (or 2, or 3) at various points in nand_bbt.c (and even
outside, since we leak our in-memory format). But now it is certainly
more painful, since we have nice macros and functions to retrieve the
relevant portions of the BBT.
This patch removes any points where the block number is
doubled/halved/otherwise-shifted, instead representing the block number
in its most natural form: as the actual block number.

We have only one AG-AND driver and it was not touched since 2005. It looks
like AG-AND was not really make it to mass-production and can be considered
a dead technology.
Along with the AG-AND support, this patch removes the BBT_AUTO_REFRESH feature,
because the only user of this feature is AG-AND. And even though it is
implemented as a generic feature, I prefer to remove it because NAND flashes do
not really need it in this form.

scan_read_raw_oob() is used in only in places where the MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB mode
is preferable to MTD_OPS_RAW mode, so use MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB instead.
MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB provides the same functionality with the potential[1] added
bonus of error correction.
This brings scan_block_full() in line with scan_block_fast() so that they
both read bad block markers with MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB. This can help in
preventing 0xff markers (in good blocks) from being interpreted as bad
block indicators in the presence of a single bitflip.
Note that ECC error codes (EUCLEAN or EBADMSG) are already silently
ignored in all users of scan_read_raw_oob().
[1] Few drivers perform proper error correction on OOB data. In those
cases, the use of MTD_OPS_RAW vs. MTD_OPS_PLACE_OOB is not
significant.

A portion of the `check_pattern()' function is basically a `memcmp()'.
Since it's possible for `memcmp()' to be optimized for a particular
architecture, we should use it instead.

Updates to our default function for creating bad block patterns have
broken the "no OOB" feature. The NAND_BBT_NO_OOB option should not be
set while scanning for bad blocks, but we've been passing all BBT
options from nand_chip.bbt_options to the bad block scan. This causes us
to hit the:
BUG_ON(bd->options & NAND_BBT_NO_OOB);
in create_bbt() when we scan the flash for bad blocks.
Thus, while it can be legal to set NAND_BBT_NO_OOB in a custom badblock
pattern descriptor (presumably with NAND_BBT_CREATE disabled?), we
should not pass it through in our default function.
Also, to help clarify and emphasize that the function creates bad block
patterns only (not, for example, table descriptors for locating
flash-based BBT), I renamed `nand_create_default_bbt_descr' to
`nand_create_badblock_pattern'.

Because there are so many cases of checking, writing, and re-writing of
the bad block table(s), we might as well wait until the we've settled on
a valid, clean copy of the table. This also prevents us from falsely
incrementing the table version. For example, we may have the following:
Primary table, with version 0x02
Mirror table, with version 0x01
Primary table has uncorrectable ECC errors
If we don't have this fix applied, then we will:
Choose to read the primary table (higher version)
Set mirror table version to 0x02
Read back primary table
Invalidate table because of ECC errors
Retry readback operation with mirror table, now version 0x02
Mirrored table reads cleanly
Writeback BBT to primary table location (with "version 0x02")
However, the mirrored table shouldn't have a new version number.
Instead, we actually want:
Choose to read the primary table (higher version)
Read back primary table
Invalidate table because of ECC errors
Retry readback with mirror table (version 0x01)
Mirrored table reads cleanly
Set both tables to version 0x01
Writeback BBT to primary table location (version 0x01)

Now that `read_bbt()' returns ECC error codes properly, we handle those
codes when checking the integrity of our flash-based BBT.
The modifications can be described by this new policy:
*) On any uncorrected ECC error, we invalidate the corresponding table
and retry our version-checking integrity logic.
*) On corrected bitflips, we mark both tables for re-writing to flash
(a.k.a. scrubbing).
Current integrity checks (i.e., comparing version numbers, etc.) should
take care of all the cases that result in rescanning the device for bad
blocks or falling back to the BBT as found in the mirror descriptor.

Instead of just printing a warning when encountering ECC errors, we
should return a proper error status and print a more informative
warning. Later, we will handle these error messages in the upper layers
of the BBT scan.
Note that this patch makes our check for ECC error codes a little bit
more restrictive, leaving all unrecognized errors to the generic "else"
clause. This shouldn't cause problems and could even be a benefit.
This code is based on some findings reported by Matthieu Castet.

This is a second step in restructuring `check_create()'. When we don't
rely on goto statements for our main functionality, the code will become
a little easier to manipulate.

We will begin restructuring the code for check_create so that we can
make some important changes. For now, we should just begin to get rid of
some goto statements to make things cleaner. This is the first step of a
few, which are separated to make them easier to follow.
This step should just be a code refactor.
